Product Description

Review
'... gripping, beautifully written, haunting, surprising and devastating. Thomas H. Cook has long been one of my favourite writers.' Harlan Coben "The players in this drama will stay with you long after you have closed the covers of Cook's truly remarkable novel. The Murmur of Stones is another marvellous symphony of suspense that happily joins a brilliant body of work from a truly refreshing writer." Crimesquad.com 'A gripping and magnificently written story.' Dublin Evening Herald 'A compelling addition to a body of work that deserves more recognition.' SpectatorThomas H.Cook has become a must-read author...a satisfyingly convoluted tale...deeply unnerving - The Rough Guide to Crime

The Murmur of Stones is another marvellous symphony of
suspense...from a truly refreshing writer."

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost, but not quite, 18 Jun 2007
By S. A. Gordon (Enfield, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Murmur of Stones (Paperback)
It's always a shame when one of your favourite authors doesn't quite live up to your high expectations of them and this is one of those occasions.
After the sublime Red Leaves, The Murmer Of Stones left me slightly disappointed, especially the ending. As with all Cook's novels he draws the reader in, but continually keeps you guessing the final outcome. Normally Cook's endings have a final twist in the tail. So did this one, but not a classic ending this time.
However, Cook remains one of my favourite authors, up there with Crais, Lehane, James W Hall and Michael Connolly. He always deals in the dark side of peoples behaviour/personality and could possibly put off readers for being too depressing. But his writing style keeps you reading and sucks you in. Even though this book was not as good as some of his other novels, this is still far, far better than most of the rest.
Whilst I have only given 3 stars, this is only a reflection of the high standards I have come to expect. Should really have been 3 1/2.
